The match between Xinjiang team and Shandong team has caused a huge uproar. For example, Liu Wei, the head coach of Xinjiang team, scolded Yu Dehao, a player from Shandong team, during the game, calling him "a cup of sand, let him shoot, let the cup of sand shoot!" Upon hearing Liu Wei's behavior, Yu Dehao was speechless and reported to the referee. However, the on-duty referee did not pay attention, which made Yu Dehao helpless. Later, Yu Dehao continuously scored three-pointers, severely slapping Liu Wei in the face.
Of course, what caused more heated discussions among fans was Zhao Rui, the tough guard of Xinjiang team, who once chased after the on-duty referee and collided with him, leaving the fans stunned. Zhao Rui's pioneering approach in the CBA also led to severe punishment from the CBA company, resulting in a five-game suspension and a fine of 100,000 yuan. Of course, although the punishment imposed by the CBA company on Zhao Rui is heavy, it seems relatively light compared to the Chinese Super League. In the past, a Chinese Super League player was directly suspended for one year and fined 200,000 yuan for colliding with a referee. Compared to that, Zhao Rui's punishment is considered quite light.
Following the incident where Zhao Rui collided with the referee, the Basketball Association also held an online referee meeting, where they discussed the need to protect players and strengthen the management of foul actions.
Liu Wei, the head coach of Xinjiang team, also clearly stated after the game that the occurrence of this incident was due to Zhao Rui's problem, and there was nothing else to say. However, what caused Zhao Rui to get angry? What led to his behavior? Obviously, Liu Wei believes that it was the referee's decision that caused Zhao Rui's dissatisfaction, leading to his irrational behavior.
Then, after Zhao Rui scored a layup, did Yu Dehao of Shandong team commit a foul while chasing and defending? Regarding this issue, opinions vary, with some saying that Yu Dehao fouled and made a big move, while others claim that he did not foul at all. In response to this question, basketball referee expert Ding Jianing provided a detailed interpretation.
Ding Jianing stated very clearly, "This ball is a hundred percent missed defensive foul. Zhao Rui, as a seasoned national-level player, if it was a foul that could be called or not called at the beginning of the game, even if he was unclear, he wouldn't have exploded like that." Ding Jianing's words are very direct, indicating that Yu Dehao definitely fouled, and it was quite obvious; otherwise, Zhao Rui would not have been so agitated. After all, Zhao Rui is a player with rich international competition experience, and he is very clear in his mind whether there was a foul or not.
In addition, Ding Jianing provided a detailed interpretation, stating, "The contact from point A to point B by the supplementary defender seriously affected Zhao Rui's RSBQ. Zhao Rui, such a strong player, was hit so hard that he crashed into the basketball hoop. Therefore, the impact of this contact on Zhao Rui was quite significant."
So, what caused Yu Dehao's foul on Zhao Rui to be misjudged? To answer this question, Ding Jianing explained that the main problem lies with the central referee, who ran too slowly and thus failed to see the foul. Because the offensive and defensive players were in a straight line, he couldn't see it.
From this foul, it is essential to run to the right place, as only from the correct angle can one see it clearly. Of course, whether the referee saw it but didn't call a foul is another matter that is difficult to say.
Therefore, Ding Jianing also expressed the hope that the CBA's business level will improve, as only then can more misjudgments be avoided. So, dear readers, do you agree with Ding Jianing's opinion?
